< 以西結書 28 >

1 耶和華的話又臨到我說:
The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,
2 「人子啊,你對泰爾君王說,主耶和華如此說: 因你心裏高傲,說:我是神; 我在海中坐神之位。 你雖然居心自比神, 也不過是人,並不是神!
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God; —
3 看哪,你比但以理更有智慧, 甚麼祕事都不能向你隱藏。
behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee;
4 你靠自己的智慧聰明得了金銀財寶, 收入庫中。
by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
5 你靠自己的大智慧和貿易增添資財, 又因資財心裏高傲。
by thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches; —
6 所以主耶和華如此說: 因你居心自比神,
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,
7 我必使外邦人, 就是列國中的強暴人臨到你這裏; 他們必拔刀砍壞你用智慧得來的美物, 褻瀆你的榮光。
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 他們必使你下坑; 你必死在海中, 與被殺的人一樣。
They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.
9 在殺你的人面前你還能說「我是神」嗎? 其實你在殺害你的人手中, 不過是人,並不是神。
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee.
10 你必死在外邦人手中, 與未受割禮的人一樣, 因為這是主耶和華說的。」
Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
11 耶和華的話臨到我說:
Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
12 「人子啊,你為泰爾王作起哀歌,說主耶和華如此說: 你無所不備, 智慧充足,全然美麗。
Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 你曾在伊甸上帝的園中, 佩戴各樣寶石, 就是紅寶石、紅璧璽、金鋼石、 水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉、 藍寶石、綠寶石、紅玉,和黃金; 又有精美的鼓笛在你那裏, 都是在你受造之日預備齊全的。
Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
14 你是那受膏遮掩約櫃的基路伯; 我將你安置在上帝的聖山上; 你在發光如火的寶石中間往來。
Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, [so that] thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 你從受造之日所行的都完全, 後來在你中間又察出不義。
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
16 因你貿易很多, 就被強暴的事充滿,以致犯罪, 所以我因你褻瀆聖地, 就從上帝的山驅逐你。 遮掩約櫃的基路伯啊, 我已將你從發光如火的寶石中除滅。
By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 你因美麗心中高傲, 又因榮光敗壞智慧, 我已將你摔倒在地, 使你倒在君王面前, 好叫他們目睹眼見。
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 你因罪孽眾多, 貿易不公, 就褻瀆你那裏的聖所。 故此,我使火從你中間發出,燒滅你, 使你在所有觀看的人眼前變為地上的爐灰。
By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 各國民中,凡認識你的, 都必為你驚奇。 你令人驚恐, 不再存留於世,直到永遠。」
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.
20 耶和華的話臨到我說:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
21 「人子啊,你要向西頓預言攻擊她,
Son of man, set thy face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 說主耶和華如此說: 西頓哪,我與你為敵, 我必在你中間得榮耀。 我在你中間施行審判、顯為聖的時候, 人就知道我是耶和華。
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 我必使瘟疫進入西頓, 使血流在她街上。 被殺的必在其中仆倒, 四圍有刀劍臨到她, 人就知道我是耶和華。」
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
24 「四圍恨惡以色列家的人,必不再向他們作刺人的荊棘,傷人的蒺藜,人就知道我是主耶和華。」
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
25 主耶和華如此說:「我將分散在萬民中的以色列家招聚回來,向他們在列邦人眼前顯為聖的時候,他們就在我賜給我僕人雅各之地,仍然居住。
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 他們要在這地上安然居住。我向四圍恨惡他們的眾人施行審判以後,他們要蓋造房屋,栽種葡萄園,安然居住,就知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝。」
And they shall dwell securely therein; yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those that do them despite round about them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.
